List management discussions are like icebergs.
Only about 5% of enquiries/ discussions are ever made known in mainstream media.
I don't think the club would publicise every enquiry they make.
We have been salary cap jammed. We needed to add 2-3 mids and a key forward post dynasty. Two of the mids came up so the club lept on them. Now as cap space becomes available we will no doubt move our focus to this key forward issue. It is probably not one that could easily be solved ahead of time by making a strong offer for a Larkey or any other promising key forward.
It cost us a chance for a backup mid which we needed far more than this guy. Especially as how our season unfolded.
We need kpp depth, the time to address it wasn’t with the very last spot on the list. It should of been our first priority considering it was pretty much Lynch or bust for our forward line.
Bradtke was so far off vfl level let alone afl level it wasn’t funny.

Very strange situation. Picked up in the SSP and then delisted by the end of the season.
Something not right here.

Mini made the decision in 15.
Didn’t develop enough to a point where we thought he would be worth an extension.
He might’ve decided the demands of afl aren’t for him.
We might have something else lined up.
I don't get it to. If anything, the club knew he was going to be a project at least needed 2 years or else no point . We have kept Miller and Biggie for how long.
I think he’d be handy while we parked a draftee at VFL
You still need to have traits that’ll succeed at afl

We must have some grand plan for our forward line as he seemed like a decent prospect. Perhaps wasn't professional enough?
Country footballer...next.
Offcourse you do. The other blokes I mentioned nearly had 4 years. What did the club expect from a country footballer wasn't going to happen overnight if he was ever going to be good enough.
He wasn’t a great mark sadly , you either are or aren’t that wasn’t going to magically develop over next summer

I don't recall anything about it, anyway it's too late now he signed a 4 year deal with Lolnorf.

At least you had a crack and have put your hand up.
Unlike others who sit on the fence from the start or defend their dud when they are too far gone.

24 goals in 16 VFL appearances does not seem very impressive for a key forward. AFL will much tougher.
List management 101. This is not even a surprising call we need players with AFL quality traits.

He took the Relton Roberts diet along with MRJ
Kaelan's inability to take a big grab or a pack mark was my biggest issue with him. Recruiting a big forward who cannot take a contested mark is essentially pointless. While he does possess impressive speed for his size, there are smaller players who are faster and can provide the desired style of play. In the VFL, he simply did not take enough contested marks to prove that he could do it at the elite level. Perhaps he has the potential, but he failed to demonstrate it. Ultimately, we need a replacement forward for Jack and Tom, both of whom can obviously take big grabs.
We only have room for one athletic big man that is allergic to leather and goes missing for half a game at a time. His name in Ben Miller.

Seems we've signed a 208cm big as category B rookie

Big switch! 208cm giant goes from Wildcats to AFL list
He was a cult figure at the Perth Wildcats last season due to his size, aggression and flowing mullet - but Ollie Hayes-Brown has crossed codes to an AFL list. See which club he’s joined here.
